How the poll was conducted - Primary Voters

This poll was conducted by Mason-Dixon Polling & Research, Inc. of Washington, D.C. from July 8 through July 13, 2010. A total of 400 likely Democratic primary voters and 400 likely Republican primary voters in Georgia were interviewed statewide by telephone

Those interviewed were selected by the random variation of the last four digits of telephone numbers. A cross-section of exchanges was utilized in order to ensure an accurate reflection of the state. Quotas were assigned to reflect voter turn-out by county.

The margin for error, according to standards customarily used by statisticians, is no more than plus or minus 5 percentage points for each group of primary voters. This means that there is a 95 percent probability that the "true" figure would fall within that range if the entire population were sampled. The margin for error is higher for any subgroup, such as a gender or racial grouping.
